The recent approval of the deal by Israel's security cabinet has sparked significant opposition from the Religious Zionism and Jewish Power parties. These factions voted against the deal, revealing a split that could threaten Netanyahu's parliamentary majority. This internal dissent highlights the precarious political balance Netanyahu must maintain to successfully navigate his coalition government.

Netanyahu faces mounting pressure as he tries to reconcile the differing views within his cabinet. The factions opposed to the deal have expressed their willingness to reassess their alliance based on the outcomes of the current ceasefire agreement. This situation puts the Prime Minister in a challenging position as he balances the needs of his coalition against the backdrop of a tumultuous security landscape.

The U.S. Role and its Implications

The Biden administration's approach to the ongoing conflict puts additional pressure on Israel's political dynamics. Previously, Secretary of State Blinken's remarks suggested a need for Hamas's approval, which has now shifted the focus back to Netanyahu's decisions. The complexities surrounding U.S. involvement complicate Netanyahu's position, as he navigates the expectations from both his domestic coalition and international allies.

Israel's security cabinet has recently voted to approve a deal intended to navigate the conflicted landscape of the ongoing conflict, yet significant opposition remains. Daniel Levy, a former Israeli negotiator and president of the US Middle East project, highlighted this critical moment in Israeli politics. The Religious Zionism party and the Jewish Power party openly opposed the deal, raising questions about Netanyahu's majority support in government and the implications of this internal dissent. The security cabinet's decision signals a temporary understanding among leaders, but the divisions within the right-wing factions may ultimately threaten Netanyahu's position further down the line. One of the prominent concerns for Netanyahu is maintaining the delicate balance of power within his coalition government. With key factions like Smartr and Ben Gav expressing opposition, the question arises as to whether Netanyahu can sustain a majority in both the security cabinet and the full cabinet. While these parties voted against the deal, they currently have not threatened to withdraw from the government, which positions them in a strategic negotiation space. As tension mounts regarding the future implementation of this deal, the dynamics in the cabinet continue to evolve, potentially reshaping the broader landscape of Israeli politics. Beyond domestic politics, the role of the United States in this equation cannot be overlooked. The Biden administration's influence, as highlighted by previous comments from Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, represents a critical aspect of Israel's strategic calculations. Levy suggests that the Biden administration has played a double-edged role, with their statements perhaps obscuring the complex reality on the ground. The focus now turns to Netanyahu's actions regarding the ceasefire and whether he can navigate the expectations of both his coalition partners and his counterparts in Washington, thus determining the path ahead for Israel amid a fraught geopolitical backdrop.

“State of Terror: How Terrorism Created Modern Israel” book by Thomas Suarez ,2016 This book shows how the use of terror by supporters of the idea of a Jewish state in Palestine was systematic, routine, and accepted by Jewish leaders as necessary to achieve their aims. At the height of the British Mandate in Palestine, terrorist acts were carried out at a frequency and with an intensity that has been largely forgotten
